Mitt Romney Supporters Are a Cult

According to other Republicans, some in the party establishment are so desperate to change the dynamic that they are talking anew about drafting Romney — despite his insistence that he will not run again. Friends have mapped out a strategy for a late entry to pick up delegates and vie for the nomination in a convention fight, according to the Republicans, who were briefed on the talks, though Romney has shown no indication of reviving his interest.

Good for Mitt Romney being adamant that this is not going to happen. His supporters, however, need to be deprogrammed. It is embarrassing that anyone is, at this point, talking about drafting Romney. Doing this would only boost Trump and Carson, the very people they are trying to shut down.

That Romney’s supporters do not recognize this, shows they have no idea how to navigate the current political system. Considering many other Romney supporters have gone on to other candidates and are having problems still adjusting, these people are total losers, to quote Donald Trump.

Seriously, this is an embarrassing cult whose focus of worship even rejects them.

Republicans actually had a pretty good night last night with the Senate, the Georgia Governor’s race, the two seats in Florida, the Ohio Governor’s race, etc. In fact, Democrats could not flip a single seat in the House that Trump carried by 55% or more. The truth is, Donald Trump may be abnormal in his behaviors as a politician, but politically he is not that abnormal. If anything...

Democrats picked up the United States House of Representatives, flipped seven state legislative chambers, added six states where Democrats now control both the state legislature and Governor’s Mansion, and the three states that put Trump over the finish line (Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) all elected Democrat Governors and Senators.

All politics should be local, but President Trump himself has insisted it is like he is on the ballot. And he is right. Today is a nationalized election about Donald Trump and depending on where you live it will have major implications for Democrats and Republicans. In urban and suburban areas, there has been a decided shift away from President Trump. That will impact House races and more likely...
